was a new member of the Mexican Students Association on Texas A&M's campus. The group organized Thursday's vigil and said they don't know how something like this could've happened to Romero. The students had to procure hundreds of pink balloons, write statements of grief and send invites for Thursday night’s event.Early Sunday morning, Romero’s body was found in the courtyard of the Dunn Hall dormitory.
“She was a super happy and bright person and all of her friends would describe her the same way,” Perez Paredes said. For those who knew her personally, they find it hard to believe this is something Britney may have done willingly.The group read a letter from Britney’s roommate Thursday night who had to return home after the incident.
Amid their grief, students aren’t willing to make any conclusions about what may have happened to their friend and fellow student. “We don’t want to make any assumptions or anything like that so we’re just waiting to see what, what they tell us,” Gonzalez said.KHOU would like to send you push notifications about the latest news and weather.
